Make sure the power supply cord is properly connected to a functioning electrical outlet. Also, the electric motor might be too warm; if so, allow the pressure washer to cool down at ambient temperatures for about 5 minutes. You may also need to clean the nozzle.

Why won't my Stihl RE 130 PLUS Pressure Washer start when I squeeze the spray gun trigger?
- A
  Anthony JohnsonAug 25, 2025
  There are several possible reasons why your Stihl pressure washer might not start. First, check that the mains plug of the connecting cable or extension cord is properly plugged in. Another reason could be that the circuit-breaker (fuse) or the residual current circuit breaker has tripped due to an electrical overload or a fault in the circuit. If this is the case, look for the cause of the tripping, remedy it, and then engage the circuit-breaker. Also, ensure that the fuse rating of the socket is adequate and that you are using an extension cord with the correct cross-section and length. Finally, the electric motor may be too warm; allow the pressure washer to cool for 5 minutes and clean the nozzle.

  If the water pressure of your Stihl Pressure Washer fluctuates or drops, fully open the water tap to ensure a sufficient water supply. Also, check if the nozzle, water intake screen, or water filter is blocked and clean them. If the issue persists, the high-pressure pump, hose, or spray attachment may be leaking; in this case, have the pressure washer inspected by a STIHL servicing dealer.
